Out of our three starting linebackers, JA is the weak link. That doesn't require a genius to figure that out.

Apparently it takes a genius to figure out that you need to see the whole body of work, not just one game.

Davis and Kuechly play most of our defensive snaps.

Why?

Because they're our best backers.

..or they play MLB and OLB....lol logic is lost I see.

Going to have to selectively take some hits. Only way to work out of this mess....and change the team,

Oh I agree we're going to have to make some tough decisions, but cutting guys like Beason and DeAngelo (or even restructuring them for that matter) will not free up cap at all....

Anderson plays OLB too, lol. He played many snaps last year because we had injured players. If Anderson was as great as some of you think, then it would be no problem to pull out Davis on the snaps in which we only have two LB's.

Davis and Kuechly make STOPS, Anderson may every now and then. But not like them.

Gross, JA and Gamble have some trade value. While Gross IMO,isn't elite anymore. He's still good enough to start on a lot of teams (including ours) and would most likely warrant a decent pick. May draft his replacement or Cambell may take his spot (iffy I know). Ron Edwards is gone. Could draft his replacement (Star/Hankins). Trade Anderson for a fourth/fifth rounder. Hopefully restructure some contracts. Anyway we'll have cap room before all is said and done.

.... somebody needs to get a fkin pencil and paper and start jotting this sht down...

Think about it, TD-Keek-Beast. Can you say best LB corps in the entire NFL?

[Roger Dorn]

Ok I'll believe it when I see it

[KittyCity]

The Panthers dont "trade" any of their starters.. They never have. Regardless of any new GM, expect this philosophy to continue. That progressively senile old man in the Ivory Tower - he never trades starters, and he'll never spend big money in Free Agency.

He cuts high priced players or lets them walk. Does piddly trades for bench-warmers and 6th and 7th round draft picks, picks up old players past their prime in free agency if theyre available for a song.

You guys know all this.. Why pretend something else is actually gonna happen?

Anderson is a solid, dependable LB but is grossly overpaid.

Sorry, sometimes I start daydreaming and I forget this is the Panthers we're talking about.

They will almost have to. Many people didn't expect JR to hire a consultant for the GM search, he wants to win. And he's willing to change his ways to do so.

I don't know, I have to disagree with that statement.

I love Beason as much as the next guy, one of my all-time Panther favorites. However, I think we have the next Urlacher on our hands, something really special that will be a force for years. He is leading all rookies in tackles and looks very comfortable in the MLB position, why damper his progression and put in an aging vet? Unless Beason seriously restructures his contract, moves to the outside, or just takes a leadership role, I think we should pay our respects and let him catch on with another team. Always hate to see a guy like Beason go but it's for the better...

The next Urlacher, get the fug outta here, he is okay for now hopefully he will continue to get better as each game goes bye but I wouldn't go that far.

[MadHatter]

Ron Edwards has actually earned his $ this season.

Gamble/Gross/DWill

Anderson is average, being paid above average.

Beason will redo his deal I think.

Exactly on Edwards.

After seeing how bad our DT's were before Edwards, anyone who thinks he is not worth $3m a year is officially brain dead.

[MadHatter]

Jesus Christ.

This thread shows that most of you are even crazier than I thought.

There is now no wondering why none of you have jobs that require important decisions....because you all suck at it.
